Sinai — DMC Merger

Terri Tabak
Giuliani:

"Yes. Jewish
people,
especially those
who follow
special dietary
laws, feel more
comfortable in a
Jewish
environment."

Marshall Levin:

"Yes. My wife
gave birth there.
She liked the fact
that it was
Jewish."

Bob Dear:

Dave Frassrand:

"Yes. Patients are more confident if
their doctor is of the same ethnicity
as them."

"Yes. The hospital gives the Jewish
community something to relate to."

Rabbi Chaim
Moshe Bergstein:

"Today, there is
less concern for a
need of a Jewish
hospital except
for the Jewish
services it
provides. The
new ownership
might not follow
kashrut laws and
thus take away a
patient's comfort
level. We're
going to feel that
impact."

Lisa Shevin:

"No. I don't think
it makes a
difference. What
does matter is if
you go to
someone who
gives you the
best care; a
hospital doesn't
have to be
religious."
